Prince Louis became the centre of attention at this year’s Trooping the Colour ceremony, captivating the hearts of onlookers and stealing the show with his humorous antics.

The Trooping the Colour ceremony marked a historic moment as King Charles III took centre stage during the procession and on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

The annual military ceremony is held in London, United Kingdom, to celebrate the official birthday of the British monarch and is considered one of the most prestigious and significant events on the British royal calendar.

However, despite the significance of the event, all eyes were quickly drawn to the youngest member of the Royal Family who early on in the proceedings enthusiastically covered his nose with his hands in disgust as he seemingly got hit with the smell of horse poo.

The young royal wasn’t done there as the five-year-old continued to pull faces as he made his way through the streets of London alongside his siblings and mother.

Louis showed no signs of slowing down as the Royal Family took their place on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, with the youngster putting on a spirited display as the Royal Air Force Red Arrows roared above for their flyover.

Louis couldn’t contain his awe and delight at the display, with arms outstretched he seemingly imitated the aircraft soaring by in the fly-past.

Fans couldn’t contain their excitement as they showered Prince Louis with adoration for his adorable antics on social media.

Prince Louis’ most recent scene-stealing antics at the Trooping the Colour ceremony were just another example of the young royal’s unique talent for capturing the spotlight.

During the late Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in 2022, the young Prince was pictured trying to shush his mum, the now Princess of Wales with his hand, pulling faces and poking his tongue out at her as she attempted to settle him.
